   I didn't use FM much.  My FroDo config blew itself away in a big *Bang* at the   
   end of 1998.  My node was off-line for about a month while I forgot about its   
   way of doing things and worked-up a BinkleyTermXE system, later adding binkD.   
      
   I had a BATch that offered either TimEd or MsgEd (I was using both Squish &   
   JAM areas).  I had been toying with a point-configured GoldEd on-&-off for a   
   couple of years already.  But, I was lured by SemPoint and other experiments   
   along with GoldEd.

   Only one?!?  I have 4 or 5, in vBox-ed nodes/experiments,  Oh, this point can   
   do GoldEd as well.  Mmm... call it 6, and they're all individual... of course.   
      
   It's a pity that SemPoint requires Windows.  It was my favourite editor all   
   along.  ;)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
